I don't see the problem, to be honest. People want things that make life easier for them. They might not really want to buy a Wii U but they'd probably like to play some of those Nintendo games. It seems somewhat superfluous, I guess, to buy a weaker console (spec-wise) when you already have a more powerful one. Why is that necessarily a bad thing to want? Did they really say, "I want Nintendo to die," or anything? Did they really say they want Nintendo to fail? Or just that they'd like Nintendo games without the hassle of buying a second console? I'd love to play Zelda, for example, but I can't easily justify buying another console when I don't really care for many of Nintendo's franchises.

I think getting upset about this might be an over-reaction.

Just think for a moment that if, maybe, Sony was in this situation. They were talking about their Conference and how it was "Meh..." but then they go on this totally off-topic discussion about how they want Sony to become a Third Party Dev. Then they start acting like it would and should be a great reality and how it would be awesome if Kaz showed up on stage at Nintendo's E3. Wouldn't you, a person who enjoys Sony's offerings and their consoles, be in the least bit annoyed?

I would scoff if those people really thought it would happen, I can understand that part.  But just dreaming about playing Zelda and then switching over to Killzone?  That's not such a bad thing to imagine.

The core of it, I think, is if those guys were really hoping that Nintendo would crash and burn.  I bet if you asked most of the, they'd say no.  Some of them probably even have friends who work for Nintendo.
